with a sincere hat tip tothe TPM Muckraker, i offer some additional gloss on monica goodling's reasons for asserting her fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination -- priorto being charged with any crime. . .

when all the window-dressing is removed,we see the akin gump partner likening ms. goodling to several of the watergate conspirators, at least insofar as some ofthose conspirators were not requiredto appear before sen. sam ervin in order toassert their fifth amendment privileges. . .

[i'm not sure i'd press that comparison. . .]

on the other hand, it may well be thatmr. dowd is rather slyly suggesting -- akin toseveral of the watergate conspirators -- thathis client would be willing to testify, if, of course, she is granted broad immunity. . .

LEWIS SCOOTER LIBBY’S PERJURY AND OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE -- AND THEN THE JULY 2, 2007 PRISON SENTENCE AND IMMEDIATE, BREATH-TAKING JULY 2, 2007 PRESIDENTIAL COMMUTATION OF THAT SENTENCE -- IT IS HIGH TIME TO EXAMINE THE MERITS OF INDICTING THE VICE PRESIDENT, DICK CHENEY, AS THE LEADER OF A CONSPIRACY TO MISUSE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, AND COMPROMISE C.I.A. OPERATIVES — ALL FOR PARTISAN POLITICAL RETRIBUTION.
